Chemicals
Various Cruelties Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the universe is gonna throw it back to me
It's just how I feel
So tonight
we'll spin around the planets
like a satellite
Mercury
it's rushing through my blood
just like an energy
It's just how I feel
If it's meant to be
the universe is gonna throw it back to me
Oohhhh to get it back all we need is to let it go
Oohhhh put your faith put your trust in the chemicals
Take a fear
Release it watch it burn up in the atmosphere
Just give up the ghost
And let it be
You know it doesn't have to be a mystery
Oohhhh to get it back all we need is to let it go
Oohhhh put your faith put your trust in the chemicals
If it's meant to be
the universe is gonna throw it back to me
If it's meant to be
the universe is gonna throw it back to me
It's gonna throw it back to me
Oohhhh to get it back all we need is to let it go
Oohhhh put your faith put your trust in the chemicals
Oohhhh to get it back all we need is to let it go
Oohhhh put your faith put your trust in the chemicals
put your faith put your trust in the chemicals
put your faith put your trust in the chemicals
In the song "Chemicals" by Various Cruelties, the lyrics describe a sense of surrender to the universe, trusting that everything will work out if it is meant to be. The first verse suggests that if something is truly meant to happen, then the universe will bring it back, as if it were a boomerang. The chorus emphasizes the importance of letting go, putting faith and trust in the chemicals or forces that may be beyond our control. The second verse encourages the idea of releasing our fears and letting them burn up in the atmosphere, acknowledging that life does not need to be a mystery, and surrendering to the universe's plan.
The overall message of "Chemicals" seems to be about letting go of control and trusting that everything will fall into place, even if we do not fully understand how or why. The repetition of the phrase "put your faith put your trust in the chemicals" emphasizes this idea, as if we should relinquish our doubts and fears and trust in the greater forces at work.
It is interesting to note that the lyrics of "Chemicals" are somewhat ambiguous and could be interpreted in a variety of ways. The song could be seen as a commentary on fate or destiny, a call to surrender to a higher power or even a nod to the idea that the chemical processes in our brains shape our perceptions and experiences.
